WARDROBE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,456, dated July 12, 1887.

Application filed October 14, 1856. Serial No. 316,237. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Beit known that I, MARION H. CAZIER, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved \Vardrobe Attachment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvement upon the wardrobe attachment illustrated,described, and claimed in Letters Patent No. 347,687, granted to me on the 17th day of August, A. D. 1886, the invention consisting of certain improved constructions and arrangements, to be hereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures ofreference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a wardrobe provided with myimproved attachment. Fig. 2'is a sectional view of the upper portion of a wardrobe, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the connection between the wardrobe and the attachment.

In the drawings, 10 represents a wardrobe that is divided into compartments 11 and 12, a rod or wire, 2, being suspended in each compartment. The forward ends of the rods or wires 2 are bent upward, then backward, and finally again upward, as shown at 3, an eye, at, being formed in the upwardly-extending portion of the forward end of the wire or rod. The inner or rear end of the rod is bent upward at right .ngles to the main portion thereof, and is formed with an eye, 5, to which there are connected two suspending chains, 6, the upper ends of said chains being secured by screw-eyes or other appropriate devices to the roof or ceiling 7 of the cabinet or wardrobe. The forward end of the rod or wire 2 is supported by a chain or link, 8, which is These yokes are in turn hooked upon the rods 2, as indicated in Fig. 1. As the garments are thus hung upon the rod they are pushed backward, and when it is desired to remove any one of the garments the rod is grasped by the left hand and drawn obliquely forward and to the left. Any desired article may then be selected and removed by the right hand, after which, when the rod is released, it returns by its own weight to its original position within the wardrobe.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. In a wardrobe, a horizontal rod or bar having flexible connections at its opposite ends suspending it within the wardrobe approXimately in line with the door-opening, whereby the rod may be drawn obliquely toward the door, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a wardrobe, the horizontal bar 2, bent up at its ends, the chain f, suspending the forward end of the bar from the interior of the compartment, and the suspending-chains 6, secured at their converging ends to the rear end of the bar and at their upper diverging ends to the top of the compartment, substantially as set forth.
